INFO! on the dicontinued OHTU 350X 200X..

[honda200x1987]

I was searching for the original OHTSU P/V 24x8x11 front tire for the 1985 350X, 86-87 200X, 85 ATC250R . I emailed a honda dealer and he told me they are in back order with an ETA of 6/30-7/13. wow!

[RIDE-RED 250r]

6/30-7/13 of what...1986??!! lol, just kidding! but thats way cool if they are bringing them back for us!

[honda200x1987]

I am calling AMERICAN HONDA tomorrow to verify it, I am still going to cross my fingers on this even though it shows on that honda dealer's system. and yes 6/30 2010,lol.

[RIDE-RED 250r]

be sure and let us know what you find out.....

[Dirtcrasher]

Am I a meathead or were they 23.5?? :lol:

[honda200x1987]

They are 23.5X8X11 but Honda's sku shows 24x8x11
Am I a meathead or were they 23.5?? :lol:

[honda200x1987]

here is the sku, they actually show both 23.5 and 24 on the 1985 350X SKU, I guess some just call them 24"s . I beleive it's the part number 44710-HA5-672AT that shows 24x8x11. There are several superceded part numbers for this tire.http://www.hondapartsnation.com/pages/parts/viewbybrand/7/Honda.aspx?gclid=CO638d-Q4qECFQ_yDAod2UFeKQ

[honda200x1987]

Yes! it is true, the correct OEM front tire for the 1985-86 ATC350X,85-86 ATC250R and 1986-87 ATC200X OHTSU PRO VECTOR 23.5X8X11 will be available once again from HONDA between 06/30/2010 - 07/13/2010. This is great news !

[honda200x1987]

Looks like the bottom will drop on the Dunlops.

[ceaserthethird]

From where ? ? ?

I was told they discontinued OHTSU tires for the ATC's / 350x /250R /200x

[ceaserthethird]

Where can you place a ORDER ?

Give us detail's ...

Their going to sell so many tires !

[honda200x1987]

The tires where discontinued from Honda but they are now on back order and will be available from Honda on or between 6/30/2010- 7/13/2010. There was so many requests for the tire they are now making them again, just like they did for the 86 ATC250R rear fenders a few years ago but the fenders are now disco. You will need to contact a Honda ATV dealer on those dates or anytime you like but they won't be available till then.

[honda200x1987]

You will need to ask for part number 44710-HA5-003 <-- ask for this number . There are superceded numbers 44710-HA5-672 and 44710-HA5-672AT The picture below is a Dunlop but the OHTSU is the same pattern and is the correct oem original that is being reproduced. the second picture is the Ohtsu that is supposibly on back order.

[ceaserthethird]

so we will get a - 23.5x8x11 P/V Ohtsu Tire right ?

Are they making the rear's also, for the 250R's & 350X ?

[mike1979]

OK, so How Much??

[honda200x1987]

yes the OHTSU part number 44710-HA5-003 it is the original tire for the 1985 ATC350X and is the same tire for the 86 350x ,85-86 atc250r and 86-87 atc200x.

[ceaserthethird]

Did you call AMERICAN HONDA to verify ? ? ?

[honda200x1987]

I am not sure of the price, i didn't ask , you will know when they come available in june. It all depends on what dealer you order from.

[honda200x1987]

Yes the rear ohtsu's are still available go to bikebandit.com for those.
so we will get a - 23.5x8x11 P/V Ohtsu Tire right ?

Are they making the rear's also, for the 250R's & 350X ?

[Dammit!]

Somebody is giving you bad information. Ohtsu doesn't even make tires anymore.

[ceaserthethird]

Go to the link he POSTED !

You'll have to order from any honda DEALER your local Honda dealer or WEB Honda Dealer ECT !

[honda200x1987]

Your dealer is correct.

My honda dealer says it shows b/o eta 6/30-7/13 in his system. Part number 44710-HA5-003 or superceded 44710-HA5-672 or 44710-HA5-672AT Hope this is true, there are so many of us who need this tire, thanks..steve
> here is one response from a dealer, I have contacted others and they verify

[honda200x1987]

Yes OHTSU still makes tires for trucks ,atv's etc. the latest trx400ex carries the OEM OHTSU. They did stop making the oem tire for the 350X, ETC PART NUMBER 44710-HA5-003 but they are making it again, I guess they still have the molds for the tires.
Somebody is giving you bad information. Ohtsu doesn't even make tires anymore.

[ceaserthethird]

The Honda ATC 250R '86 - Front Tire is 23x8x11 , Different Part Number and Price $$$ .

Who can i call to find out if they are going to make a - 23x8x11 front tire ? ? ? ?

[honda200x1987]

The part numbers will be different but the same tire, contact www.cyclepartsnation.com

[ceaserthethird]

I just Bought Some OHTSU tires for my HONDA Civic

[Dammit!]

Well I hope you're right but I'll believe it when I see it. Back when we were all scrambling to buy the discontinued dunlop tires EVERYBODY said they were on back order until whatever date. When the date came, some dealers said oh now it's pushed back to whatever. Then some said they were discontinued.

Like I said, I HOPE you're right but I won't be holding my breath.

[dirtwheels]

Honda does not typically reproduce parts with a 003 suffix. The 672 is usually the re-run or newer number. But the 3 part numbers should be linked together at the dealer. Hope they actually make these again like they stated.

[Beerside]

Im with you Dammit, I'll bet anyone $20.00 that whoever that kid was behind the counter saying these tires were on order was looking at some old, outdated information. But I will be happy to be wrong and please feel free to tell me "I told you so" when they became available.

[RIDE-RED 250r]

well, i will say this, what ever tire manufacturer decides to bring back these tires (if and when they do) stands to make a few bucks, cuz it seems to me that restoring old wheelers, ESPECIALLY the trikes is starting to get quite popular. And why shouldnt it? You can completely restore, and mod up a little bit, a nice old R, Tri-Z, Tecate or something and STILL be cheaper than the brand new 450s at $7000 and up!

[Mr. Clean]

I attempted to order a tire from the dealer posted in this thread. I received a phone call from them stating they are no longer available blah blah blah.

[Dirtcrasher]

GIVE IT TIME!! Then we'll all know, at least the OP is trying and it will help us all! :beer

[SeaBass8]

I happen to be talking to a ServiceHonda.com rep today about another part and asked him to check to see if this is available yet. No luck.

anybody else check?

[MojaveRider223]

What is the latest on this? I need a front tire for an 85 250R and I was hoping to stay original (or as close to original as possible). If these aren't available, what is everyone running instead?

[Beerside]

Hey Mojave Rider or anyone else, I got an NOS Dunlop 23X8X11 for sale if anybody wants it. It's not cheap, I want the going rate...$360.00 shipped to anywhere in the 48 states. I can provide pics if anyone is serious.

Thanks for the offer, but I only paid $750 for the whole trike, a $360 front tire is way out of my budget. Good luck with the sale.

[pablo]

going rate....$360?
Whoa, when did this happen?

Whats the going rate for a NOS 86R rear fender? Front fender?

[Beerside]

Yeah Pablo, it's not pretty :-(. If you can come up with these tires for $60.00 somewhere then you would become an instant hero on this forum. And as for N.O.S. fenders...if you'll sell me the complete set for $500.00 then I'll take 4 sets.

[tapper190]

I have 2 rear tires on order for my 350x at my Honda dealer. They say I should get them in about 2 weeks ( that was back in Sept.) I guess they are still across the ocean waiting for a boat, lol. Hopefully they come in. The Honda dealer is convinced that they will.

"lol" , doesnt that LOL look like a guy from that boat drowning. But perhaps we all need to order these tires all around the world, whoever needs and or wants them. Perhaps Honda would get off there butts!

[dma550]

I have a dunlop on the front of my R, were these that good that we should get this excited over them? What's so good about them except that they're OEM? thanks :)

[Beerside]

Its not that they're so good it's just that anything else looks like it doesn't belong on the trike. But for someone who's just a back yard thrasher then any tire will do. But for those who admire the original look from 1986 the Dunlop/Ohtsu is the only tire that will do...and those tires are endangered. Thus we enter the realm of "Supply and Demand". You should of learned that in 10th grade economics class. CHEERS!!

[tapper190]

I'm hooked on the performance of the tire. It works well in all kinds of terrian. The only thing I would like to improve would be the side wall thickness, but that might change the performance, that's just my 2 cents worth, :lol:.
Tapper

[TheRealFatShady]

Is it safe to say we will NEVER find these tires new from a dealer again? They were supposed to come out 6/30 or 7/30, we're almost a half a year past that with no update. I hate to say it, but they're gone.

[UlsterATCFan]

Wish Dunlop would start making the KT 325 for the '84 big red again :-(

[cox]

the KT 325 is listed on their site. I dunno what that means though..... lol

[st222]

man, i 2 have a new kt 576 23" for the 250r. i dont even own a atc250r. but anyway your not going to beleive this but i have the receipt to prove it. I bought this tire like 2 months ago from my local dealer for my 86 200x that i totally resored. i no its not the 23.5 for the 200x but it was the oem look. anyway i was with my buddy at the dealer, he was buying his kid tires for his b-day, we went downstairs to there tire racks & i noticed it in the rack & i new right away the history of the tire & its not made anymore so i grabed it. now the dealer dont charge you ebay price of 350.00 i got it for what it normally sells 4 & that was 40 some dollars.... like i said, so no ones calling BS i have the receipt.. to prove it.
now im not sure what i want to do with it but, i have the 87 trx250r thats all original close to mint, but the plastic has some spider webing that has formed. if any1 has any oem front or rears for this in really good shape maybe we can talk. thanks scott

[tapper190]

I got an interesting phone call at work today, my Honda dealer called and my oem tires for my '86 350x are sitting there waiting for me to pick up! I didn't get done work in time tonight to get them, but I will tomorrow!

Tapper

Really? was that rears or front? I have been working for a honda dealer for a long time and I searched all part numbers for front tires for the 200X 350x and 250R and they all come back discontinued and 0 stock. How did you pull this off?

[tapper190]

These are for the rear, I never checked for the front tire

[st222]

i have a front with about 50mi on it by me, if any1 wants it
